Objective Calcified epithelioma is a rare benign tumor in head and face. It is seldomly seen canceration. But it has local invasion behavior. The aim of this study was to explore the methodology in the diagnosis and treatment of calcified epithelioma in head and face, and to improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 26 patients with calcified epithelioma in head and face. Results 53. 8 % patients with calcified epithelioma were less than 13-year-old. The disease was easily misdiagnozed. In this group of patients the misdiagnosis rate reached to 42. 3 %. Btype ultrasonographic diagnosis possessed a high level of concordance with histological diagnosis. There were three major types of calcified epithelioma: type 1, a mass with internal echoic foci; type 2, a hyperechoic mass with high beam; type 3, no calcification in the parenchyma. Piomatricoma was described as a skin tumour histologically composed of shadowcells, basophillic cells, foreign body giant cells and intracellular and stromal calcification. The treatment was excision and no recurrences were found by followup. Conclusions It is important for clinicians to know the clinical features of calcified epithelioma. Imaging studies including ultrasonography would help establish the diagnosis. Surgical excision with clear margins is recommended for this tumor.

Objective To provide anatomic proof for the localization in neck operation and clinical diagnosis of infection and tumor infiltration. Methods A total of 15 cadaver heads and necks were sectioned on transverse plan with cryosection. The layers and characteristics of the deep cervical fascia were observed. Results The deep cervical fascia was divided into four layers with the fasciae of the infrahyoid muscles being a single layer. The deep layer of the deep cervical fascia was subdivided into alar fascia and prevertebral fascia. The carotid sheath was composed of all the layers of the deep cervical fascia. Conclusion The model figure of the deep cervical fascia is obtained.

Objective To find out the best orientation and section for diagnosing rheumatic heart disease using multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods The visible heart was compared with the images by multiplane TEE for the establishment of the best orientation and section for multiplane TEE for the diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease. Results The best orientation and section of mitral valve detected by multiplane TEE were the four chamber view at 0? orientation at the end part of esophagus. The best orientation and section of aorta valve were short axis section of the heart at 45? orientation and long axis section of the heart at 135? orientation at the middle part of the esophagus. The best orientation and section were the short axis section at 45? orientation and the oblique short axis section at 0? orientation of the aorta valve at the middle and the upper part of esophagus. Conclusion The best orientation and section of TEE based on the study of the visible heart are helpful to simplify the operation procedure of multiplane TEE and to shorten the examining time.

Objective To provide morphological data for image diagnosis and mediastinal surgery planning.Methods Cross-sectional images of fresh tissues from the first Chinese visible female human data-set were reviewed and the main structures of the superior mediastinum were confirmed on a section-by-section basis.The positional rule of the main structures in various plane of superior mediastinum was found out,and a few key sectional images were selected and compared with the relative images of CT or MRI,and the relative data on the cross-sectional images were collected.Results The cross-sectional images of the first Chinese visible female human fairly displayed the aortic arch and its 3 large branches,superior vena cava,left and right brachiocephalic veins,azygos vein,pulmonary trunk,trachea,esophagus,thoracic duct and so on,as well as their relationship clearly.Conclusion The first Chinese visible female human dataset can almost provide complete and accurate data.

Objective:To explore the auxiliary 3D rapid prototyping technology of adult penis virtual surgery simulation on the basis of the force feedback, thus to improve the success rate of surgery, to reduce complications and to ensure the operation safety and reliability.Methods:Twenty cases of Inner Mongolia adult male (20-50 years old) were selected from January 2009 to December 2015 in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Inner Mongolia Medical University Affiliated Hospital. The two-dimensional CT data from the iliac crest edge to edge of penis continuously were input into the computer to reconstruct 3D penis and adjacent structure model using Magics Rapid-prototyping software. Under the Free Form system, digital virtual simulation reconstructive surgery was carried out based on force feedback device for adult penis.Results:Using Free Form system, virtual plastic and reconstructive surgery was carried on the adult penis, which could be used for penis optional operation, the three dimensional model for quantitative operation design to choose the best surgical approach. This technique provided a new technical means to avoid complications happened.Conclusions:Penis RP model can accurately reflect the complex anatomical characteristics and the internal space of the area adjacent to the relationship, based on force feedback, make the performer from the visual, auditory and tactile perception to simulate procedures for accurate adult penile reconstructive surgery and to improve clinical application value.

Objective To compare the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) with heart_blood stagnation syndrome (HBSS) due to Qi deficiency and Qi stagnation. Methods Indices such as endothelin,NO,TXB 2 ,6-Keto-PGF 1? ,blood rheology,platelet aggregation rate,atrial natriuretic factor,high_frequency electrocardiogram and cardiac function were observed. Results The changes of the above indices in CHD with HBSS due to Qi stagnation (Group A)were smaller than those due to Qi deficiency(Group B). Conclusion Qi stagnation is the primary stage of CHS with HBSS,the pathological changes being mild;Qi deficiency is the advanced stage,the pathological changes being severe.

Objective To investigate the effect of Tianma Gouteng Decoction on myocardial fibrosis in renovascular hypertensive rat (RHR). Methods RHR models were established by occlusion of renal artery with artery forceps. The collagen concentration and the contents of collagen type I,III were measured. Meanwhile, the weight of heart and left ventricle was determined. Results (1)Both Tianma Gouteng Decoction and Captopril could reduce the left ventricle weight index (LVI) and collagen contents (P

[Objective] To observe the in-vitro inductive effect of ginsenosides (GS) on differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into myocardial cells. [Methods] Marrow stromal cells were isolated from adult SD rats, and then were cultured and cloned by density gradient method and adhesive cultivation to prepare the primary MSC. The cell surface antigens of CD34 and CD44 were detected with flow cytometer to identify MSC. After subculture, the 8th generation of continuous MSC were induced by GS (250 mg/L) and 5-aza (5-azacytidine, 10 ?mol/L) and GS + 5-aza (250mg/L and 10 ?mol/L respectively) for 24, 48 and 72 hours to differentiate to myogenic cells. Meanwhile, a blank control group was set to compare the effect. After the induction, myocardial cell percentage was worked out after examining MSC count and positive cells count under the phase contrast microscope. The specific proteins of Desmin and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in myocardial cells were detected by immunohistochemistry method, and the cardiac-specific gene expression of ?-MHC (myosin heavy chain) and ?-MHC in myocardiocytes was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. [Results] The cultured marrow stromal cells grew well, spindle in shape, and their CD44 expression was positive, indicating that marrow stromal cells differentiated to MSC. After induction with GS and 5-aza, MSC differentiated to myocardial cells, and the myocardial cell percentage was 38% in GS group, 35% in 5-aza group and 39% in GS + 5-aza group, the difference being insignificant. The expression of Desmin, cTnI and MHC in MSC was positive, and MSC were spindle-shaped and looked like fibroblast, indicating that MSC differentiated to myocardial cells. [Conclusion] Ginsenosides can induce MSC to differentiate to myogenic cells in-vitro, and this will supply evidence for cell transplantation.
